Hello and welcome to this site Marwane!

You will have your brother on site, find him a good handyman to be your go to guy to fix things and you just might have a winning combination.  

If they are a General Contractor they probably have multiple job sites running at the same time.  

That way you don't lose any money and the current tenants can get their deposit back.

Most have zero contingency meaning you lose the deposit if not act in good faith.

You’re looking for diversity; people will leave when they lose their jobs if the entire economy in an area is centered around one or two industries.Small businesses and any kind of services will either move away or fail if the biggest employers are not hiring.

Now I get it that there is this undercurrent that goes around that its the easiest to get into and takes the least amount of capital.. but I also think the vast majority with limited capital spend it lose it and never do anything.. 

I want to find an early podcast and watch it on the site.

I suggest you find local meetup groups via meetup site and look for some here on BP under Network/Events.
